I feel it.

you'll not get super powerful braking, its just a more direct feel of the brake pedal.

Yes definately,just what bludger said.

It's the 'firewall flex' that it stops,so maybe your firewall is stiff as?

Do U know a steep down sloping road you usually drive on?

This is a good test for it.You know when you go down a steep street,sometimes it feels like you have to put your foot through the floor for it to stop and it,this should take that away and the brake will be there.Therefore giving you confidence with the brake pedal.

are these brake stoppers universal fit? or made for custom application per vehicle??

just out of pure curiosity how do you guys wind that little stopper onto the master cylinder ?
I had a job once on a GTR that had one of these installed and the stopper adjusted till max, needless to say it came in for braking issues where it was found that it was locking up at heat, after some time and investigation the push rod inside the master cylinder was bent so I'm just wondering has anyone had this problem as of yet ?

The instructions state to leave a small gap between the stopper and the master cylinder.

The brake stopper would not be a contributer to the bent shaft in the master cylinder, unless it was installed wrong, which is pretty hard to do. The shaft and piston slide free, of the master cylinder and the stopper. The problem would have been from a part failure and/or from seazing promoting the bend. Hell, pushing as hard as you could on the brake pedal while the car is off in the garage could have initially caused it, who knows.

Well we didn't want to pursue the matter so we just came to the conclusion it was due to the brake stopper contributing to the bent rod, time is money in the industry as they say.
